¿ªÔÆÌåÓý?After a freakish warmup here in central Michigan to 50 F / 10C??
for the last two days (it was -2 F / -19 C Sunday night), the snow
and ice melted allowing me to get outside and do some antenna
work.?? I have been using a 105' / 32 meter G5RV dipole in a sloper
configuration for my 40-meters APRS-over-VARA monitoring and
beaconing. As of 16:30 US Eastern (2100 UTC) 28 Feb 2025, I have now
replaced this with a mini-dipole made from two 40M Hamstick-type
mobile whips mouinted in an MFJ bracket.? This antenna is only
about? 12 feet / 3.6 meters above the ground to favor daytime NVIS
on 40M.? Looking for reception reports when night-fall reaches
North America and 40 meters lengthens out.? See what I'm hearing on 30M and 40M APRS-over-VARA here on my
APRS mapping webservers:
